I was diagnosed early in life. Being unable to sit still or pay attention were two very prominent behaviors, super hyper, etc.

As an adult, the symptoms are much more subtle

Reading things several times and not remembering what I read b/c I was thinking to myself at the same time. Trouble sleeping b/c my mind doesn’t shut off. In my lucid dreams, I observe and think about things I have to do when I’m awake 🤣

Diagnosed only last year.
Focus was always horrible, i would make stupid small mistakes or even forget to save work when someone interrupted me. I always spent more time inside my head than out as a kid, even now i prefer to play computer games than talk to people.
Sometimes my brain would lose focus in the middle of conversations or i would interrupt someone with thoughts out of left field.

@Arnoldjrmmer I know how it is. We just learn differently. Honestly, people with ADHD are some of the best people out there. The thing is, in life, we always have to work to meet others' standards. No one else understand us besides those who can actually understand us. I am now learning how to drive, and it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Harder than my university degree and all my other academic accolades
I would get lost in thought and stare out the window in school and when i would finally decide to start focusing, the class would be over and i started falling behind in certain classes due to my lack of focus.

I had behavorial problems, and i disrupted class a lot

When I was a kid it was called not paying attention.
We didn’t get diagnosed as much as just sent to the principals office.

@ABCDEF7 Thank you for sharing this.
Procrastinating. Day dreaming. Having to read the same thing over and over. Lack of filters and pissing people off.
